history
The first mention of Rügshofens was in 742. At that time the place was called "Hruodeshov", which indicates a farm was founded by a certain Hruod or Ruodi or a clearing . At that time the Carolingian Karlmann donated the tithe of the royal court to the diocese of Würzburg . Later the farm came to the Fulda monastery . In 880, Emperor Arnulf gave the Boniface Abbey the name of "Rügshoven", among other places. In 906 the donation was confirmed by Ludwig the child.
Already in the Middle Ages and early modern times, the residents oriented themselves towards the nearby town of Gerolzhofen. He was also assigned to the Regiswindis parish, which is why Rügshofen has no church to this day. During the Thirty Years War , the town's proximity to the city was also its undoing. The Swedes failed in their siege of Gerolzhofen and instead plundered the surrounding towns of Rügshofen and Lindelach . Only Rügshofen was rebuilt in the period that followed.
For a long time, the residents of Rügshofen did not have their own district, but cultivated their fields in the Gerolzhöfer district. It was not until 1860 that the royal Bavarian government separated the two districts. In the First World War, seven Rügshöfer died on the battlefields, in the Second World War, the city lost nine sons. On May 1, 1978, the community was Rügshofen as part of the administrative reform in Bavaria in the neighboring town of Gerolzhofen incorporated .

It presents itself as a two-story saddle roof building with a half-timbered upper floor. The attached roof turret is particularly striking . The war memorial of the former community was erected in front of the town hall. It was designed as a pavilion in 1929. The two American emigrants Anna and Martin Weber were responsible for the construction.
The many wayside shrines , which are typical for a Catholic place in Franconia, are particularly characteristic of the small village . The St. Martin's shrine from 1606 near the village fields and the Laurenzimarter from 1890 on the southern edge of the village are significant in terms of art history. The wayside shrines are now on the Franconian Marienweg . There are also several striking courtyard gates with pedestrian gates in Rügshofen that were built during the 18th century.
